Hey so I'm looking to buy a stella, preferably used to cut down on price. What price would you guys and gals recommend for a used one? I know it depends on mileage and all but also what is the highest mileage one you would buy? I don't want to get one with too high mileage then have to sink a lot of money in it to fix but I'm also not aware of what high mileage is on a stella, like how high until it needs rebuilt usually and are there many problems with the engine after it goes over 3,000? Sorry if these are silly questions, I read as much as possible on these forums and on google searches! :)

well my week old stella has 500 miles on here now we had a ride last night and the other stella at the ride had over 5000 miles on it and runs like a top
two strokes are capable of a lot more miles then people think i have over 10000 miles on my 08 zuma and the stella engine looks fairly simple like the zuma engine so an overhaul cant be that hard

I've just turned over 7500 miles on my '08.

Runs like a champ.

I'd have no worries with buying a used one.

As far as price goes, just look around and see what they're going for. There's a classifieds section on stellaspeed.com that might be good for some research.

Thanks guys, wasn't sure if buying one with 3,000 miles on it was too much or not
